Sunshiney Afternoon

Filed Under: Family

Monday afternoon was PERFECT weather besides being a little windy. I am not a fan of Daylight Savings Time but it was sooo nice having a few hours of light after Kenny got home from work.

Kenny was able to change the brake pads on my van since they were making a horrible noise. Wonder why???

Dustyn was ready to ride his raptor.

Gosh he is getting to be such a big boy!

Here is a little video of him riding the raptor. He would max out the accelerator.

 

Dustyn ended up saying that his thumb was hurting so bad. Probably because he was trying to push it so hard to go faster since we had it turned down so he couldn’t go too fast.

All in all it was a great afternoon and makes me very excited for Spring.

    Looks like a great day! After a teaser of spring over the weekend, we had a very windy, cold, blustery, snowy day today. Hoping spring comes back soon!

    Yikes those brakes are scary! I wore my brakes right down to nothing in high school because I was so dirt poor. Then there was one time when my car wouldn't stop with the brakes...thank goodness for the emergency brake. So very scary! needless to say I will never wait that long again. Love these photos of D riding his Raptor. Looks like a blast.

    Holy cow! My husband totally cringed at your old brake pads (or lack thereof)! Good thing you got them replaced! We are finally getting warmer and it looks like we will be above 60 degrees this weekend- wahoo!

    I'm loving the fact that it's darker in the mornings now and so my kids don't get up quite so early!! Haha. Good weekly pics :) Enjoy your trip!

    Looks like a really fun day for Dustyn! A little boy's dream, for sure. I'm excited about the extra hours of daylight for photography's sake, but the mornings have been a beast! :)

    Glad to see you got your brakes fixed. That looked bad. I'm not a fan of the time change, but I'd rather be on Daylight Savings Time year round. :-)

Plus, he researched for hours how to do ceramic coating so now the paint is protected and it should be easier to keep clean. The photo does not do it justice. It’s super slick and shiny.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
